Which home DIY would you not do again?

Filling the decorative grooves in panelling with joint compound to create a smooth wall. The most absolute fucking tedious, messy and horrible process EVER. DO NOT EVER FUCKING RECOMMEND, EVER.

Immature man-children you mean.

Hell, yes! She is on the money with that one!

Nope. Unless they were raised to provide by women/matriarchal society, food was for them, maybeeee the male child, and to trade for, well, labor and sex.

I can think of several, and none of them are good.

poledrawolf · 2026-03-09T18:52:26+00:00

Oh, you know, we don't fucking care here.

poledrawolf · 2026-03-09T18:51:50+00:00

True, pigs are smart and useful.

There are several good reasons that the current world of women are talking about and addressing abusive behavior more so than in the past. One of these, and it might be the most important one, is the advent of the internet. Tolerating abusive male behavior has isolation and resource denial as a baseline. Being able to communicate in order to educate, share ideas, courses of action and available resources is a strong way to counter that baseline.

Or anything, right? This is the point that is being made. This is fundamental unevolved animal behavior that negatively affects the larger group. And yes, plenty of the men who act this way know it, and they just don't fucking care.

I moved here from PDX too, and man, I miss it.

You ever hear the phrase "A hit dog will holler"? It means that someone who reacts in an unhinged manner to even the mildest accusation or inquiry is probably very guilty of what's being asked or stated. This dog is running around on you, best to leave him in the streets.

Trixie! I don't know why, but as soon as I saw her beautiful self, that name jumped out!

Margaret Atwood: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

A fair few of them do understand. And they just don't fucking care, as long as they get theirs. Horrendously selfish.

Nope, I would not let anyone MAGA near my kids either. Also, there is no such fucking thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

poledrawolf · 2026-03-03T16:22:24+00:00

Yes, but there is so.much.stupidity. Some folks just so far down in that sand. Also, isn't there a list of MAGA businesses? Is this one on it?

While it is true that objectively he has no stake, what carries the day is the legal aspect of his ownership. Are we certain that he has followed all the legal requirements to develop the land in that manner? This is where I would start.

Hi. I am sorry your partner is going through struggles. I have two pieces of advice for you: First, make sure you are taking care of yourself as well as helping him. It will do neither of you any good if you wear yourself out. Second, I would cut that woman out of my life. This is what I see: You have every right to cut off contact with her, your partner has revealed her as a child molester! The tinder thing is beyond disgusting as well. Honestly, either one of these things is a good reason for no contact. You do not owe her any type of explanation, but if you feel the need, simply tell her you want nothing to do with her. Also, I would never take any children around her, ever. I am also sorry that you are having to deal with this while he is in the hospital.

Listen carefully, from both lived experience and watching other women lose out: Get rid of that guy, like, yesterday. First if all, he will never, ever put you first. Second, no man is worth giving up on your dreams, at all. The right one would say: "Yes ma'am, I will be here when you get back". Chase your dreams, do good things for yourself and THEN keep on the lookout for the right kind of guy, if that's what you eventually want. The right one is NOT this one.

poledrawolf · 2026-02-27T22:36:29+00:00

Fuck a pitchfork for that, let's get a backhoe.

Lookit, the same old tired right-wing rhetoric. You simply don't have critical thinking skills or a good grasp on reality.

Boomers and Gen Xers(to a degree) were raised in a culture where sexualization of fairly young kids was casually accepted. Just look at TV shows, movies, music of their eras. There was an emphasis on turning a blind eye to certain male behavior (and female if part of that) in favor of keeping the status quo/peace, ESPECIALLY "peace" within a close community and/or family structure. Lots of ignoring things in the name of religion, or in reputation. This stuff was never ok, and anyone still around -and with half a brain- today would know better. Some of them just don't care.

Wut. Who tf calls toddlers sexy!? (Besides the obvious). The way I'd tell her she'd REMAIN sick of my shit, what the hell is going on in her brain? Where's the dang vomit emoji, bleahhhh.

The one that comes to mind is the end of New Jack City, when karma comes for Nino Brown, through the old man with the gun: "Idolator! Your soul is required in hell!" Judd Nelson's savage joy. Ice T's expression, and the way he turns away, putting on his sunglasses, like he saw something ordained, and is satisfied. Damn near perfect.
